Lebanon health ministry reports at least 60 killed in Israeli strikes on Beqaa Valley

Lebanon’s health ministry says at least 60 people were killed on Monday in Israeli raids on several areas in the eastern Beqaa Valley, most of them in the Baalbek region.

The health ministry says the tolls cover 12 areas in the Bekaa Valley where terrorist group Hezbollah holds sway. At least two children are among the dead, it says.

At least 58 others were wounded, the health ministry adds, noting that the toll is preliminary as rescue efforts are still underway.

Of the 60 killed, at least 16 deaths were recorded in Al-Alaq, west of Baalbek city, according to the health ministry.
